Note about the Kepler Timing Error: all data and ephemerides listed in this catalag have been updated (July 23, 2013) to use the corrected timings.

The Online Catalog

To view the entire Eclipsing Binary catalog, click the Catalog tab. If you would like to search, sort, export, or change the fields shown click the Search tab. In the search form you will see an entry for each of the available fields (as explained in more detail below). The checkmark to the left toggles whether the field will be shown in the results. The radio button indicates which field will be used to sort the results in ascending order - this is set to sort by Perid by default. Most fields accept a minimum and/or maximum value to limit the results, with all search terms combined using AND logic.

The search options and fields are listed and described below. If a value came from a particular method used in the pipeline or an outside source, it is noted, the abbreviations of which are described below in The Pipeline Process. Otherwise, the value or data has been determined either manually or automatically via the pipeline process.

If you would like to export the results to something other than the default html table, choose your desired format noting that links, plots, and data will not be included.

Kepler: KIC - Kepler Input Catalog ID. Supports regular expressions as well as * for wildcard (will be replaced by .*) and , for or (will be replaced by |). Uploading a KIC list does not support regular expressions.

Kepler KOI: (boolean) - whether the KIC is also listed as a Kepler Object of Interest

Kepler KOI: FP - KOI includes an entry listed as a Planetary False Positive (note: each KOI can have multiple designations, and no period matching is done here)

Kepler KOI: PC - KOI includes an entry listed as a Planetary Candidate (note: each KOI can have multiple designations, and no period matching is done here)

Kepler KOI: PC - KOI includes an entry listed as a Confirmed Planet according to the "Exoplanet Archive Disposition" (note: each KOI can have multiple designations, and no period matching is done here)

MAST: links - links to MAST's Kepler Data or Target search for the current KIC

Figure Formats

pf - plots dtr_flux vs phase from data and pf_flux (red) vs phase if binary period is greater than 10d or pf_deconvolved_flux (green) and pf_deconvolved_reconvolved_flux (blue) if period less than 10d from pf

The Pipeline Process

The Kepler Eclipsing Binary pipeline utilizes several methods and sources to compile the information contained in this catalog. The following list shows the various abreviations used in the fields and search page to denote these sources.
